Missing more options when it comes to web browsers? good to take Ulaa, the Zoho browser for PC (Linux, Mac, Windows) and mobile devices (Android, iOS) and a new Chromium derivative with its own quirks to add to the list.

But first, let’s briefly introduce Zoho, an Indian company in the purest style of the old Google, whose aesthetics and offer were compared to the internet giant at the time. Even today, they are similar in one way and that is that with a Zoho account you have access to a large ecosystem of productivity applications in the cloud such as email, documents, calendar, notes, etc.

Well, Zoho already has its own Chromium (113) based web browser, Ulaa, which is still in beta for mobile but has a stable version for PC. And it’s a curious project to say the least thanks to the mix of familiar but also exclusive features it offers. Its developers describe Ulaa as “a browser that respects your privacy, protects your personal data and is designed to update the way you work.”

Hello Windows 11

According to the information contained on the official website of Ulaa, the browser has a lot security and privacy features such as anonymous statistics, 24-hour security update policy, automatic updates on all platforms, automatic browser ID reset, geolocation isolation, blocking of cookies and other data with third parties, prohibition of using compromised APIs…

Without testing, it is true that Ulaa’s privacy and security section is full of options, including ad and tracker blocking, fingerprint tracking, social media filters, mining…

Second, Ulaa excels in focusing on productivity with tools such as a custom bookmark manager, smart bookmark grouping, a new bookmarks page designed to provide a quick view of data, integration with Zoho Notes, and a selection of preset usage modes to separate the different activities you can do with the browser. .

These modes are personal, work, kids, development, and one more that basically leaves the browser in a sort of zero kilometer so the user can use it however they want. But what exactly does this regime consist of? In the type and arrangement of functions that Ulaa brings to the fore, or by limiting some things, as happens with the child mode.

To quickly switch from one to the other, dynamic switching mode, another exclusive feature of Ulaa.

Of course, Ulaa also offers data synchronization between devicesfor which you only need a Zoho account, which in turn gives you access to a bunch of other services.

As for the rest, and unless you really try it out, Ulaa is what you’d expect from everyone a modern derivative of Chromium: a fast, stable browser – at least short and easy to use – and compatible with Chrome extensions, with which it shares many properties directly inherited from Chromium… And which it seems to want, in a very shabby way, to copy down to the hideous logo and icon application. Another thing you need is to complete the translation into other languages.
